The best post match Berwick interview was after we won 1-0 down there with a last minute penalty. Robbie horn couldn’t get a word in for that Eric tait.

The lottery must bring a fair bit in, especially since the jackpot has been sitting at 20k for a long time now. Assuming the 20k is sitting there to be given out, I’d be happy for the club to take 10k of it or more and start the jackpot at 10k, building back up towards the 20k maximum.

So you know we budgeted to go out the cup first time of asking ? I’m no accountant, but it would make sense to budget for only having 1 Scottish Cup game when you have no guarantee of getting through it.

Assuming the money freed up by Gorman leaving, Millar out on loan(doubt he’ll be on much anyway), is being used for Syvertsen so can’t see the budget being used up any more than it was.

I think he is worth signing up, I didn’t realise he was only 20. Agreed he has a lot to learn tactically, positional sense as well if he is out wide. On the ball and running at defenders we have seen that he can create chances and cause problems for the opposition. Wouldnt mind seeing him through the middle if Goodwillie isn’t there. I suspect if we are signing him up, we won’t be bringing in a loan to cover.

Next to nothing to answer your last point.

Location could be a problem with him if he lives up that way, no idea if he does but could be an issue if he does.

From what I’ve seen of Syvertsen, I don’t think he’s been overly effective out wide, however hasn’t done much wrong either. I’d give him a few games through the middle to see what he’s like, he’s definitely got the skill to hold it in and bring others into play, even take a run at defenders and beat them.

Not sure if we’ll go with Syvertsen up front or possibly try and get a loan in to cover. A few have left so there is possibly a bit of money sitting to cover the loan wages.

Sean Higgins at least scored a few goals, Millar hasn’t even came close. Sorry, but he’s nowhere near good enough and won’t be.

Likewise working fine for me.

Anyone who thinks rangers and Celtic are out to benefit Scottish football needs their head checking.

Let’s be honest, this is being pushed because rangers and Celtic think it would benefit them. Nobody else. The SFA are absolutely spineless.

Out of interest, I’ve never heard about the massive bank loan before. When was this taken out and any idea how much it was?

Very encouraging that we are looking to employ Danny Lennon full time.

I think the priority should be a striker, on loan or permanent to help Goodwillie. Personally don’t think Syvertsen should be starting.

Don’t imagine we’ll do that much in January, with Gorman and (apparently) Karim away, I’d only expect 1 or 2 in.

On a totally separate note, good to see the Christmas raffle raising an excellent total of just under 7 grand for the club.

Danny handling, Danny Galbraith, Scott shepherd other examples of people on decent wages.

Edinburgh are clearly paying big bucks this year, regardless of what some of their supporters say they aren’t.

Is Gerry McLaughlin still suspended for Saturday? The game at hampden was probably our worst performance of the season.

8 managers in 10 years, including Lennon.

Constantly changing managers over the years hasn’t worked so don’t see why Lennon shouldn’t get a few years at it, given this is his first full year.

Thought rumsby was better on Saturday than he had been, haven’t seen Lang much at centre back but I know that’s his favoured position. If stewart fit he should start at left back, allowing grant back to midfield.

That was comical, took me a few seconds to take in what he’d done! I actually thought once he got himself fully fit last season he had a run of games where he played well. With nicol suspended I’d definitely bring him in and put cuddihy into centre mid for this one.
